2. I'd prefer to make the plugins source tree a part of the core source tree, under a plugins directory rather than mixed in with the core sources. That way there's just one thing to check out from CVS, all the paths are relative, etc. I'm happy to make this change myself. What do others think?
That is just change the master ant build script.
3. Are there deep reasons why you use dom4j rather than Java's built-in XML support? Nutch already uses the built-in support. In the interests of minimizing dependencies, it would be best to use just a single XML parser, and one that's included with the JVM is certainly handy. You use the dom4j-specific 'List element.getElements("...")' instead of the more verbose w3c version 'NodeList getElementsByTagName("...")', but it doesn't look like you depend on any advanced dom4j-specific features. Is that right? If so, perhaps we should consider moving away from dom4j.
No, there are no specific reasons, why i use dom4j, just since it is much faster and has a intuitive API. I just made very good experience with it espacaly in xslt transformation stuff.
Since to change the UI to xml/XSLT is still on my long to do list, i was thinking i can use it in the plugin-system and ui.
sh** I was thinking I had set-up eclipse to use the sun coding convention. I'm sorry give my best to take care next time.
4. You use tabs for indenting, which show up in Emacs as eight spaces. My guess is that in your editor they show up as less than eight spaces, probably four or two. Please try to fix this in your editor, as the standard for Java is that a tab should be used to represent eight spaces:
